Honestly I’ve been sick to my stomach these past few days. I wasn’t even looking for the files and saw some in my feed on Reddit.

Basically take the most sad and disturbing Eastern European horror and put it in email form.

I had to stop my Seinfeld rewatch because I saw one email were he just happened to be boating by and stopped by the island for lemonade.

The richest people and political elite were openly trading prices on children, leaving rave reviews on child services and how great that torture film was that was sent

Its sick

Jimmy Savile, same thing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't buy the "separate the artist from the artwork" line.

I can't say I've ever watched Seinfeld, but there are plenty of other artists whose work I just won't consume anymore because they've done things I find despicable (and that I know of).

Why would I want to see or hear them or even think about them while trying to enjoy something?

Your distress may be related to your low standard of alarm. There's no evidence that Seinfeld replied let alone accepted.

Go look at the photos and tell me that everyone is overreacting. If anything people are under reacting.

After the 3-4th blacked out little girl showing her genitals so they can be sold, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that if someone is connected to the island they need to be thoroughly investigated. That’s not a stretch.

Replies like yours are what’s sick downplaying the most prolific industrial child rape in modern America and only one person is sitting in prison. And none of the customers.

I haven't seen those photos. Are they so bad that they justify smearing someone who was only mentioned in a huge trove and regardless of context? Will I go into a righteous omnidirectional rage if I see them too?

I didn’t smear anyone. I said I stopped my rewatch.

After investigating Jerry further, yeah dating a 17 year old high schooler and picking her up after school is equal distressing.

So thank you for your astute analysis and defense of a person who drove to a high school to have a physical relationship 21 years younger but I’ll hold off on watching Seinfeld for now. If that’s not too controversial.

Thank you, White Knight!
